[00:00.39]Hi, everybody. 
[00:02.31]As 2014 comes to an end, 
[00:03.83]we can enter the New Year with new confidence that America is making significant strides where it counts.
[00:10.19]The steps we took nearly six years ago to rescue our economy and rebuild it on a new foundation
[00:15.10]helped make 2014 the strongest year for job growth since the 1990s. 
[00:21.27]Over the past 57 months, 
[00:23.23]our businesses have created nearly 11 million new jobs. 
[00:27.00]And in a hopeful sign for middle-class families, 
[00:29.95]wages are on the rise again.
[00:32.73]Our investments in American manufacturing have helped fuel its best stretch of job growth since the 90s.
[00:38.37]America is now the number one producer of oil and gas, 
[00:41.13]saving drivers about 70 cents a gallon at the pump over last Christmas. 
[00:45.87]The auto industry we rescued is on track for its strongest year since 2005. 
[00:51.41]Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, about 10 million Americans have gained health insurance in the past year alone. 
[00:56.80]And since I took office, we have cut our deficits by about two-thirds.
[01:01.43]Meanwhile, around the world, America is leading. 
[01:04.67]We're leading the coalition to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL. 
[01:08.26]We're leading the global fight to combat the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. 
[01:12.75]We're leading global efforts to address climate change, 
[01:15.22]including last month's joint announcement with China. 
[01:18.53]We're turning a new page in our relationship with the Cuban people.
[01:22.82]And in less than two weeks, 
[01:24.52]after more than 13 years, 
[01:26.54]our combat mission in Afghanistan will be over, 
[01:29.94]and our war there will come to a responsible end. 
[01:33.35]Today, more of our troops are home for the holidays than at any time in over a decade. 
[01:39.96]Still, many of our men and women in uniform will spend this Christmas in harm's way. 
[01:44.90]And as Commander-in-Chief, I want our troops to know: 
[01:48.30]your country is united in our support and gratitude for you and your families.
[01:53.80]The six years since the financial crisis have demanded hard work and sacrifice on everyone's part. 
[01:59.67]But as a country, we have every right to be proud of what we've got to show for it. 
[02:04.57]More jobs. 
[02:05.74]More insured. 
[02:06.81]A growing economy.
[02:08.10]Shrinking deficits.
[02:09.63]Bustling industry.Booming energy.
[02:12.83]Pick any metric you want-America's resurgence is real. 
[02:17.68]And we now have the chance to reverse the decades-long erosion of middle-class jobs and incomes. 
[02:23.28]We just have to invest in the things that we know will secure even faster growth 
[02:27.25]in higher-paying jobs for more Americans. 
[02:30.70]We have to make sure our economy, our justice system,
[02:33.45]and our government work not only for a few, but for all of us. 
[02:36.86]And I look forward to working together with the new Congress next year on these priorities.
[02:42.38]Sure, we'll disagree on some things. 
[02:45.13]We'll have to compromise on others. 
[02:47.35]I'll act on my own when it's necessary. 
[02:50.34]But I will never stop trying to make life better for people like you.
[02:53.87]Because thanks to your efforts, a new foundation is laid. 
[02:57.53]A new future is ready to be written. 
[03:00.90]We have set the stage for a new American moment,
[03:02.80]and I'm going to spend every minute of my last two years making sure we seize it.
[03:07.54]On behalf of the Obama family, I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.
[03:12.17]Thanks, and have a wonderful holiday season.
